Abstract
Introduction: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant epithelial cell that lines the nasopharyngeal surface and is aneck head malignancy that has received much attention due to the relatively high mortality rate. Evaluating the quality of lifefor patients with malignancies is important as an “end-point” for treatment and an indicator of patient monitors.Method: This study is an analytical study with cross-sectional research design by analyzing the EORTC QLQ-H and N35 andKarnofsky Scale on 60 NPC patients.Results: Most NPC patients were male, most in Stages III and IV. The most histopathological type is non crystallizing SCC.Based on EORTC QLQ-H and N35, the most complaints of patients with NPC were found to be weight loss and the use ofpainkillers Karnofsky scores of NPC patients who were assessed as having a mean of 70.33.Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between EORTC QLQ - H and N35 with Karnofsky scores (r = −0.612; P = 0.000).The greater the Karnofsky value, the smaller the value of EORTC QLQ - H and N35 means that the quality of life of the patientis getting better, and vice versa
